A thirty minute video on why Quantum Chromodynamics can't be explained in a thirty minute video. 😁 She is great, as ever.
It always surprises me when even a technical person says "Why am I getting an error trying to foo the bar?" rather than "Why might [exact command] fail with [exact message] when [exact context]?".
C'mon, be better!

📣NEW POST📣
My latest post discusses the folklore surrounding the mysterious Dairy Pit. Explore its ghost riddled waters by following the link below-

Watched the film "Closer" last night.
We need to denormalize the idea that love doesn't involve actually being nice to the loved one.
I mean COME ON.
At one point one of the (annoying and deeply sexually insecure) men asks a woman he supposedly loves "What do you expect me to do?" and she says "Understand?". But it's obvious he's not going to, because he's jealous and selfish and doesn't seem to like her especially.
That's dumb. I guess couples who are kind and understanding to each other and tolerate mistakes, don't make for such interesting plots. BUT WHAT ARE WE TEACHING THE CHILDREN?
(I'm also team "Jane did not have the sex with Larry, he was lying and she 'admitted' it because Dan wouldn't accept any other answer." Also wow Natalie Portman is small!)

I'm a former teacher and nonviolence facilitator. I blog prolifically and create lotsa videos. I self-publish, and am trying to get a literary agent interested in my new novel... I like word play, so feel free to scroll past my silly puns.
What else? I'm an old punk rocker, a social justice activist and I eat vast quantities of #chocolate. Also, I write a lot about #ocd
The end.

ABC host embarrasses Tim Scott because violent crime 'actually down' under Biden
I tend to do by author, and anthologies by "well I'm never going to be able to find this regardless, so by editor I guess".
Not necessarily recommended. 😄
Nice charcuterie!

good morning, enjoy a crime cat.
#TheCrimeCats say all those little corpo whoopsies are intentional moves they don't think you'll push back on. when they packpedal on the shitty things they do, don't let people count that as them doing something good.

(The answer is "It's a Good Life", and it's hella scary, and the hella scary kid is played by Bill Mumy who also played Will Robinson on Lost in Space.)
Impressed by the #LLMs today: I asked both #Gemini and #ChatGPT
What's the name of that one Twilight Zone episode that makes me think of the Infancy Gospel of Thomas?
and they both got it right!
I kind of feel like Gemini needs to be told that not every answer has to contain at least one bulleted list.
